Craniofacial Fibrous Dysplasia
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is an osseous growth dis-order, producing immature bone and characte-rized by the replacement of normal bone with fibro-osseous connective tissue. It is a bone dys-plasia that has the potential to cause significant cosmetic and functional disturbances, particularly in the craniofacial skeleton. Cra-niofacial fibrous dysplasia is one of the three types of polyostotic fibro...
متن کاملMorphogenesis of the head and face: discussion report.
The Chairman, J. Z. Young (London), had suggested in his introductory remarks that research into craniofacial development was at last becoming more specialized, having previously dealt with principles and model systems rather than with issues of practical importance. The ensuing lectures clearly demonstrated the direction and advances in current research, both in evolutionary aspects and at the...
متن کاملComputer morphometrics in craniofacial biology.
The quantification, analysis, prediction and simulation of the growth of the craniofacial complex is discussed in the context of a two-dimensional coordinate model of craniofacial morphology. Data accumulated from lateral X-ray films (cephalograms) are used, in conjunction with the model, to describe and analyze craniofacial growth; to predict the future size of craniofacial structures, the fut...
متن کاملHuman sex chromosomes in oral and craniofacial growth.
Studies on tooth crown size and structure in families and in individuals with various sex chromosome anomalies have demonstrated differential direct effects of the human X and Y chromosome genes on growth. The Y chromosome promotes both tooth crown enamel and dentin growth, whereas the effect of the X chromosome on crown growth seems to be restricted to enamel formation. Enamel growth is decisi...
متن کاملThe Aponeurotic Tension Model of Craniofacial Growth in Man
Craniofacial growth is a scientific crossroad for the fundamental mechanisms of musculoskeletal physiology. Better understanding of growth and development will provide new insights into repair, regeneration and adaptation to applied loads. Traditional craniofacial growth concepts are insufficient to explain the dynamics of airway/vocal tract development, cranial rotation, basicranial flexion an...
